Shoots

Our walk along the Nutbrook Trail this morning revealed some early signs of spring.  The Blackthorns are starting to bud and it will only be few days until they are opening their blossom. But it was the Hawthorns which caught our eye, as the first green shoots are beginning to open.
Despite the knowledge that spring is just around the corner, the thick mud and puddles are a constant reminder that things are still very wet.  Still, it's good to see a few new shoots.
